An alternative to a GUI admin tool would be NX (www.nomachine.com or 
http://freenx.berlios.de/).  NX uses SSH by default so no need for 
workarounds.  NX is MUCH better than VNC for graphical environments over 
non-LAN connections.  Really, once you've run something like KDE or Gnome 
over NX, you'll never want to go back to VNC again.
